How many times can you change the name, date of birth and gender on the Aadhaar card?
Name update in Aadhaar
The Aadhaar card holder can now only change their name on the Aadhaar card twice, according to a memo from the UIDAI office.
Date of Birth (DoB) Update Aadhaar Card
DoB can be changed in your Aadhaar only once. Beyond the limit, it will be taken as an exceptional case. According to the UIDAI, “cases that exceed the previous limit will be considered as exceptional cases.” After due diligence by authorized officials, the request will be approved/rejected. You can update the Date of Birth (DoB) on your Aadhaar with a valid proof of Date of Birth (DoB) that has your name on it.
Gender update on Aadhaar card
According to the memo, gender details can only be updated once. According to the UIDAI Aadhaar update FAQ, “You can perform a gender update a second time through exception handling. For this reason, you can perform the update at the Aadhaar Center and then approach the corresponding UIDAI Regional Office for the approval of the update under exception”.
